Never confuse your inference as the listener for an implication of the speaker.

Good games are subjective like good food is subjective. You're not going to seriously tell me that there's not a psychological basis for why pizza is great and lutefisk is revolting. The thing about subjectivity is that, as subjects go, humans actually have a great deal in common.

Yay, Check them emails! Check them to only find e-mails about Seekers and Double EXP in FFXI! I have never checked my email except when I signed up for stuff and now I check it multiple times a day. SE is really starting to irritate me. They could have at least sent a confirmation email saying they got my application nearly two months ago. I think I may stop following the game entirely because it just leads me to see some of the kinds of people that get into the beta which induces more rage (not really here on these forums, but elsewhere). I know I'm just QQing, but I'm sorry if I feel like giving them nearly $2000 over the course of my life somehow should give me a slight bit if priority on this.

Edit: Down voted back to sage, kind of figured that would happen due to mentioning this. Oh well, twas only a matter of time.

Uh. I remember getting an email confirmation when I filled out the beta application.

If you didn't get one, you probably didn't really apply.

If random outcomes aren't acceptable to you, then don't play with random people.

They could have used players already signed up instead of advertising for more people to register and then using them. I know they need a wide range of systems/geographical locations to test the game, but I doubt I have many people in my area lining up to play. With as many people as I see breaking NDA elsewhere and as many as I know won't post any feedback I would have been able to actually contribute something... Maybe if i use the specs for my 6 year old laptop they will pick it to "play" the game XD.

I'm not signing up for beta either--partially because I'm confident I wouldn't enjoy it, but also to give the game a fighting chance when it actually launches. He makes a fair point. There's an upside to not getting accepted. One of the most important factors in enjoyment is novelty-- newness and unfamiliarity. You get more of it when you stay out of the beta. It's not the only factor, of course, but it's a legitimate look on the bright side.

Phase 4 is for last minute working out of kinks. Since not all zones were available in Phase I (confirmed by videos and letters) - not so sure about Phase II yet - there are going to be areas and places that didn't get as rigorously tested in Phase III that'll creep up in Phase 4 when new accounts start getting made again.

My senior project for my master's degree is basically in our phase 4. We're cutting off requests from our clients as of this Thursday - they've had a good two weeks to test it and they keep asking for more things we didn't originally agree to. But we have found some actual last minute bugs we've had to squash, and we would not have found those bugs if they didn't actually use it during those two weeks.

I actually thought phase 3 opened up the rest of the world. Didn't the roadmap say something like that?

Phase 3 will be the other cities and surrounding areas, I got to run around La Noscea and Thanalan during my hands on, I'm excited. However what isn't said is how far you can go, like if the end game zones are available or not.
